Really? because it would seem that many, many times you seem as though you DO know. Read below.
I am not being nik-picking, but this sounds like you believe that this a “feeling” of yours, but not necessarily the truth.
Not to sound (did I say nit-picking?) but this sounds like you are stating this as a fact when you simply do not know this to be true.
Now here, you say the word “if” leading me to believe you aren’t so sure again.
In this quote it sounds like you are absolutely 100% sure of this “God-self” being a fact without any shadow of a doubt.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but just because you say it doesn’t make it so. It is your belief; over time it is what you have concluded as the truth for YOU. But I do see some contradiction in the above statements because even though you are definitive in your approach, you sound like you are not so sure.
May I ask… where do you find this kind of confidence in your statements? If I, for example, would say something (off the cuff) like…
"God knows that we will die happy and contented."
Does my saying it make it so? No.
In my heart, I truly may believe this, but it would be outlandish for me to state it as fact — opinion, but not fact. When you state your beliefs as PURE FACT, I find it a bit of an eye-opener considering how many viewpoints/religions could contradict such a unique “God-self” perspective not to mention find it blasphemous. Actually, from a relgious perspective, I like this view. I even like the way you describe it because I see God in a similar way. However, my beef isn’t WHAT you say or what you believe, or even what you have concluded for that matter — my beef is your clear-cut “knowing” and HOW assured you are when you state it. Have you had some kind of religious experience or dream that gave you such enlightenment?
Sorry if I am giving you a headache, but I really want to know.
